A former police officer is backing the push to have access to ’morally indefensible' online games denied by major payment platforms.

The refunds are the first round of payments from a $245 million settlement Epic entered with the Federal Trade Commission in 2022.

The company’s other studios have created games based on Netflix productions including ‘Squid Game’ and ‘The Ultimatum’ to be released soon.

Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said Australians ’should not be gambling with money they do not have.’

Researchers found that Twitch users were able to donate money to minor streamers which they say is a ‘menacing avenue for manipulation’ and exploitation.
